FOX News/Warrior Maven: How did the Army double the range of artillery attack?
The Army has employed engineering adjustments to increase its 155mm artillery power.
What if an attacking U.S. Army ground force knew its ultra-long-range artillery had already decimated enemy supply lines and troop fortifications in advance of their move to take out the enemy?
Moreover, what if all of that bombardment had been done from a safer standoff range? It is not hard to imagine that such a U.S. force could maneuver with more confidence and more clearly-defined objectives by virtue of having already achieved certain essential battle aims.
With this kind of scenario in mind, the Army has employed engineering adjustments to increase its 155mm artillery power and literally “double” the range out to as far as 70km (43.4 miles).

WNU Editor: It was strange to read this post. The Pentagon is no longer keeping its secrets. They might as well publish the blueprints.
Maybe there are no secrets to keep because all developed countries have more or less the same high level of scientific and engineering knowledge.
ReplyDeleteIn the 40s through 80s you would capture stuff and reverse engineer it. Now the mere existence of a real break through by one group or country clues the other countries that something is feasible. Once you know it is possible you put your people on it and they can replicate it in short order.
If there are no scientific secrets then how does one prevail or keep up?
You do to by giving everyone a stake in things. You treat them with respect, you grow the economy.
You treat people with respect meaning you do not treat people like liberals would have you do. They talk a tedious convoluted game of respect, but they they give no respect to anyone. The BIPOC acronym the liberals use is prima facie proof that they respect absolutely no one.
ReplyDeleteAgreed editor. Let the adversary get a surprize or two in a conflict.
